QZ - Feb 5th to Feb 7th

Feb 5, Monday
Kick-back type of day - visiting neighbors, wandering through some vendor stands (which are becoming fewer) and just enjoying the sunshine. Played pinochle in the evening - Terry is having as little luck with cards as he is at the casino!

Feb 6, Tuesday
I finally got a phone call from the immigration office in Spokane today. They cannot make an appointment as far out as May but they can make an appointment for me in Phoenix!!! Apparently if there is an Arizona address to use to mail the appointment notice, they (Phoenix) can process the paperwork. I wish someone at the help line had known that when I called a couple of months ago. So now I have to wait for the appointment notice and make a trip to Phoenix. If it is after the end of February (when we are scheduled to leave Quartzsite), we will stay somewhere closer to Phoenix.
Ken & Jo were going to Blythe to do some grocery shopping so we hitched a ride and stocked up a bit. Groceries are pretty expensive here and the selection is not large.
We talked Clem & Marlene into playing bingo at the club house this evening - no winners in our group.

Feb 7, Wednesday
Back to Parker today to get some passport type photos in preparation for my immigration meeting. And of course the casino just sucked us in! Also took the opportunity to fill up with diesel at $2.29.
There were a lot of clouds this afternoon but it was clear and starry when I took Dolly out at 9:30.
